What to Talk About

Learn how to talk—fluently, intelligently, charmingly—to
family, friends, lovers, future lovers, bank tellers, postal
carriers, and people under the age of eight. This hilarious
manual tackles the fundamentals of good conversation with
common sense, social wisdom, and enough humor to make
us all feel better about ourselves. Written by two comedians
and illustrated by legendary cartoonist Tony Millionaire,
What to Talk About features an encyclopedia of tried-and-true
topics, conversational “piñatas” to jump-start a dead
discussion. Perfect for the graduate or introvert (or loudmouth),
this handy, giftable hardcover will inspire a hearty
laugh at the absurd conversational challenges we all face in
our daily lives.
